Don't Take Life Away From Us
www.choices.edu

Too many sufferings. Too many tragic events. White lives. Black Lives. Latinos. Everyone.

Mourning is respectable and no matter the religion, the people that were left dead must be remembered, for the respect of the family and showing that they existed.

Every life is important, the lives of the person or people who chose to create terror and kill onto innocent lives shouldn't be remembered. Instead, remember the innocent, the one who didn't deserve death.

There's too many threats ongoing in the world and that's a sad case. I doubt there will ever exist peace on earth, that mentality will always leave me with my heart torn but that's reality.

As Gil Scott-Heron once said; "Who Will Survive In America?"

The answer is no one, living in a land of sweat, tears and blood.

People in this society are grown with a mentality of being scared to go outside because "it's too dangerous, there's too many threats, I might get shot" and it's true, there seems to be little to no respect of life in the world. Where Is The Love?

Please remember the people who died, there has to be justice. Justice for everyone. Don't pick a side, wake up and support the movement for justice.

Justice for black men and women who are killed every week, the Dallas officers who died while on duty, the Orlando Gay Club massacre, young lives, old lives, every life.

Trayvon Martin, remember him. His life mattered.

Patrick Zamarripa, remember him. His life mattered.

Caesar Cruz, remember him. His life mattered.

Eric Garner, remember him. His life mattered.

Anthony Nuñez, remember him. His life mattered.

Philandro Castile, remember him. His life mattered.

Alton Sterling, remember him. His life mattered.

Rekia Boyd, remember her. Her life mattered.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
